Tang San suppressed the excitement in his heart, his gaze fixed on the human face formed by the Blue Silver King's vines: "That's right, I am the child of the Emperor you speak of. My father told me to come here when I reached level fifty to Awaken the Blue Silver EmperorSpirit."
The Blue Silver King looked at Tang San, clad in black robes, and the bloody and evil aura emanating from him made it feel particularly uncomfortable.
However, seeing the Blue Silver EmperorBloodline within him, its tone still carried a hint of respect as it explained.
"Only one Blue Silver Emperor can exist in the world at any given time. Since our Emperor is still alive, how can I Awaken the Blue Silver EmperorSpirit for you?"
"What!!"
After hearing the Blue Silver King's words, Tang San's breathing suddenly caught, his pupils sharply constricted, as if struck hard by an invisible heavy hammer, and he cried out in surprise.
A moment later, he shook his head heavily.
"The Blue Silver Emperor is still alive?"
"How is that possible!"
Although it was just a guess, Tang San was almost certain that his mother was the Emperor among the Blue Silver Grass, a hundred thousand year transformed Blue Silver Emperor.
And his mother should have died after he was born.
Although he didn't know what happened back then, his mother had most likely become his father's ninth spirit ring.
And her hundred thousand year spirit bone was precisely the hundred thousand year spirit bone that had mysteriously disappeared back then.
Wait... the Spirit Bone that disappeared without a trace!!
A flash of lightning suddenly streaked through Tang San's mind, making him abruptly think of a possibility.
Previously, he had always thought that his mother's hundred thousand year spirit bone had been stolen by some thief.
But now that he thought about it, the place his father hid the Spirit Bone was so concealed that even with advance knowledge of its approximate location, it took him a long time to find it.
How could others, completely unaware, know that a hundred thousand year spirit bone was hidden in that secret cave?
Tang San had been full of doubts before, but now, hearing the information from the Blue Silver King, he suddenly realized.
Others might not be able to find the Spirit Bone's location, but what if it was his mother herself?
As the Blue Silver Emperor herself, she might have some special means to sense the location of the Spirit Bone.
However, Tang San was still puzzled. Logically, his mother should have died more than a decade ago, yet she had suddenly come back to Life.
How exactly did she manage to resurrect?
Could it be related to his father's death?
Furthermore, after she resurrected, why didn't she come looking for him?
Did she no longer acknowledge him as her son?
Of course, the most important point for Tang San now was this:
If his mother was still alive, then how could he undergo his Spirit's second Awakening?
Was he destined to be stuck with the Blue Silver Grass, a trash spirit, for his entire Life?
Until now, the more he discovered the shortcomings of the Blue Silver Grass.
Although the Blue Silver Grass and Eight Spider Lances' devouring abilities complemented each other well, the inherent strength of the Blue Silver GrassSpirit itself was extremely limited.
His previously proud poisons, despite absorbing several Man Faced Demon Spiderspirit rings, still couldn't compare to Spirit Masters with poison-attribute Spirits.
Additionally, his Blue Silver Grass had significant weaknesses: it was not only afraid of fire, but also had extremely poor cold resistance, and its toughness was far inferior to plant Spirits of the same rank.
One could say that the Blue Silver Grass, as a trash spirit, could basically only serve to restrain and harass in combat. His primary means of offense against enemies were still the Clear Sky Hammer and Tang Sect Ultimate Skills.
Therefore, Tang San very strongly desired to undergo a second SpiritAwakening to become the Blue Silver Emperor.
Only then could he compensate for his sole shortcoming.
However, the Blue Silver King told him that his Blue Silver Grass could not undergo a second Awakening.
Tang San was naturally unwilling!
So much so that a thought even flashed through his mind.
Why did his mother have to resurrect specifically before his Spirit's second Awakening, of all times?
Tang San himself didn't notice that his hands had clenched into fists at some point, and with an unwilling tone, he questioned the Blue Silver King again.
"Is there truly no other way to undergo a second SpiritAwakening?"
"No."
The Blue Silver King's reply was concise.
Tang San's clenched fists loosened and tightened repeatedly, his expression flickering, but a very suppressed irritable emotion could be felt emanating from him.
He hadn't expected that after searching the Blue Silver Forest for a year, it would all be for naught.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the vibrant Blue Silver Grass near the Blue Silver King. There were even thousands-year-old Blue Silver Grass, and some even reaching ten thousand, or even twenty thousand years.
The Blue Silver Grass at the ten-thousand-year level contained an unbelievably rich and surging aura of Life.
Seeing this, a bold idea suddenly arose in Tang San's mind.
He stared intently at these vibrant Blue Silver Grass, his eyes streaked with faint blood.
The devouring ability of the Eight Spider Lances could not only devour spirit power but also Life force.
The more vigorous the Life force, the greater the boost it provided him.
However, this devouring ability was not entirely without side effects. Absorbing these miscellaneous energies would lead to impure energy within his body, resulting in inefficient digestion and absorption, and even having certain impacts on his physical body, potentially even affecting his mental clarity.
Tang San actually understood this deep down, but he had always been unwilling to admit it.
But now, seeing these vibrant Blue Silver Grass, a strong urge suddenly arose within him.
His Spirit was also Blue Silver Grass, and he possessed the Blue Silver EmperorBloodline.
These Blue Silver Grass before him were, in a sense, of the same Origin as himself.
This meant that the side effects of him devouring the Life energy of these Blue Silver Grass would be far less than those from absorbing other Spirit Beasts.
However, Tang San couldn't help but become conflicted again.
Because before he came to the Star Dou Great Forest, he had sworn only to act against evil Spirit Beasts. Devouring the Blue Silver Grass here clearly went against his oath.
Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but frown.
This place could be considered his place of fortune; if he missed this village, there would be no other shop like it.
After much thought, a sudden inspiration struck Tang San.
These Blue Silver Grass were, in a way, his mother's subjects.
Since they were his mother's subjects, they were naturally half his subjects too.
If that was the case, then what if these Blue Silver Grass sacrificed themselves for him?
Having thought it through, Tang San's eyes were filled with coldness, but his face was extremely serious.
"Senior, how should I address you?"
The Blue Silver King said in a deep voice: "By the grace of our Emperor, I was bestowed the title of Blue Silver King. You may call me Blue Silver King."
"So that's how it is!" Tang San bowed respectfully, then looked at the Blue Silver King with burning eyes: "Blue Silver KingSenior, this Junior has a matter, and I ask for Senior's permission."
"What is it?" the Blue Silver King said indifferently.
Tang San suppressed his excitement and pointed at the vibrant Blue Silver Grass surrounding the Blue Silver King.
"These few Blue Silver Grass are of great use to this Junior. I hope Senior can bestow them upon this Junior."
The Blue Silver King suddenly understood: "You wish to absorb your fifth spirit ring? Indeed, you are only one spirit ring away from becoming a Spirit King. But even if you need to absorb a spirit ring, you only need one Blue Silver Grass, right?"
Tang San shook his head and said: "Senior has misunderstood. This Junior was harmed by a villain, and my Foundation was damaged, so I wish to borrow the LifeOrigin of a few Blue Silver Grass to restore my internal Foundation."
Speaking of this, Tang San pleaded: "I ask Blue Silver KingSenior to help this Junior for my mother's sake."
